We pretty much define something as a cult or a religion by virtue of its relationship to society, so I don't think society can be a cult (or a religion). Also, which society?
I'd say that there's a difference between claiming values to be positive and claiming assertions to be true. Society may teach us the value of things which do not exist - justice, mercy, etc. - in order that we'll create them, but to compare that to cults that simply lie to people seems a little unfair. If society's a cult then being a cult is nowhere near as bad as we're led to believe.
Nicely said. The sound bite is catchy and trendily cynical but hardly accurate or useful social analysis.
That is awesome! Yeah I have read it, it's a very good book. I also enjoyed One flew over the cuckoos nest
I find that a lot, to be honest. People prefer stuff that sounds like it should be right (everything is one thing, open-mindedness is awesome, science doesn't know everything and that's why I own 97 dream catchers, etc.) than the hard work, which involves distinguishing right from wrong, lies from truth and so on. It's easier to find catch-all maxims that don't require any unpleasant judgment on our part.
